Burger King clears up confusion over proposed opening date of Bognor restaurant

The fast food chain announced this week that it was due to reopen its Bognor restaurant on Monday as part of its phased reopening plan, but Butlin’s is not set to open until July 23.

A spokesperson has since confirmed that the restaurant will open in-line with the resort’s opening date.

Burger King will be open for both dine-in and takeaway but only for Butlin’s guests.

A spokesperson said: “Safety is Burger King’s number one priority, and to enable restaurants to continue to reopen a number of procedures have been put in place to safeguard the health of both Burger King employees and customers, following detailed operational testing.

“These include additional PPE such as masks and gloves for staff, stringent cleaning measures, contactless delivery options via Deliveroo and Just Eat and all Burger King staff comprehensively trained on the Government’s social distancing measures – including how to run kitchens hygienically, whilst abiding by them.”

There will be a limited menu but ‘Burger King favourites’ such as the Chicken Royale, Bacon Double Cheeseburger and Whopper will all be available to order.

Katie Evans, Marketing Director at Burger King UK comments, “We are so pleased to be able to open more restaurants and slowly but surely get back to ‘normal’, ensuring all safety measures are in place.”
